A Weekend with Mr Darcy

Dr Katherine Roberts is a lecturer at Oxford University and an expert on all things Austen. But she has a guilty secret; a love of racy Regency novels by Lorna Warwick. She’s even struck up a long-distance friendship with the novelist and the two of them have been sharing their closest confidences.

When Katherine gets her yearly invite to a Jane Austen Conference at the magnificent Purley Hall in Hampshire, she sincerely hopes that Lorna will be in attendance as well. She can hardly wait to meet her new friend, but it seems that Lorna may not have been completely honest with her…

Meanwhile, hopeless romantic Robyn Love is at her happiest when her head is stuck in one of Jane Austen’s novels – if only her boyfriend Jace Collins could be more like Colin Firth.

The weekend retreat is the perfect opportunity for Robyn to escape from reality for a few days – especially when she meets handsome stablehand Dan. But Jace isn’t going to be so easy to shrug off.

With misunderstandings, muddles and a few shocking revelations, the weekend proves to be even more than they bargained for. Like all true Jane Austen heroines, Katherine and Robyn will discover that finding their own Mr Darcy is far from easy…

“This is a really sweet love story about not settling for second best and that first impressions aren’t always right. Jane Austen would be proud!” One More Page

“Connelly’s enthusiastic knowledge of Jane Austen is solid and her writing style is fresh and funny. Will A Weekend with Mr Darcy get lost in the sea of ‘Mr Darcy’ inspired novels flooding the market? Nope. It is the leader of the pack! Brava Ms Connelly! Since this is the first in a trilogy, we are all anticipation for this very talented author.” Austenprose
